About Us

Raised in New Orleans, now paving her own bright path in the Magic City, Laurie Ann Kramer's paintings are more than pleasing to the eye, they're saturated with meaning - and since she's dedicated to so many causes within the community, it's a certainty that at least one of her paintings will appeal to you - the aesthetic as well as the substance. Murals at Children's Hospital, art projects with Hand-In-Paw, ongoing work with VSA Arts reaching people with chronic illness and disabilities - Laurie's modern expressionistic style is apparent, but it's what's beneath the surface that reveals the true reason Laurie paints - to express not only herself, but also the many people who have influenced and inspired her own life.
